Hi, Don't quote me but,
I think it has to do that you do not have a parent on your main VBox instance. I don't think createComponentsFromDescriptors() is called until parentChanged() or something is called (IE the parent VBox actually has a parent). This shouldn't be a problem, the timing of invalidation gives you plenty of time to initialize your children when they are finally added to the display list of the stage.

This question is very similar to a question someone else is asking (may even be the same thing????) I've got a component called MyPrintView.mxml <mx:VBox> <mx:Label id="contact"/> <mx:PrintDataGrid id="printDG"/> </mx:VBox> when i create an instance of MyPrintView, its children are not created. why is that? if you addChild() to the Application....they are created. why is that? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; initialize="startUP()"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ private function startUP():void { var printView:MyPrintView = new MyPrintView(); trace(printView); trace(printView.printDG, printView.contact); //both null addChild(printView); trace(printView.printDG, printView.contact); //both not null } ]]> </mx:Script> </mx:Application>
